time in minutes and seconds and .00

I don't know how to format a cell so when I enter a number it is not in a
date format. I want the number to be displayed as minutes, seconds, and 2
decimals.

Thanks in advance
Adam

Custom format as [m]:ss.00

Select the cell in question
Goto the menu Format>Cells>Number tab>Custom

In the little box under "Type" enter:

[m]:ss.00

OK out

The [ ]'s keep the minutes from rolling over after 60 into hours.
